You guys might roast Kuzma but he is a NBA starter, MVP of the Raising Games and a good/great prospect that continues to improve his defense and facets of his game.


Impressive achievement.

he should just shut up tbh. getting a bit annoying. if I'm a coach or GM these comments are bit of a red flag for a young player who's not necessarily a top tier talent.

His comments are meh, Orlando’s *currently* an irrelevant franchise so it definitely has merit. Probably would’ve been best to not been said, but whatever


Tatum or Siakam wouldn’t say it... because of brains.

If I have to live in Cali, it's San Diego above all else. LA is at the bottom. It's full of trash with homeless people infiltrating all the Starbucks in town, with overrated 5/10 or 6/10 broads faking that they're 9s or 10s until you break them down with your status notification.


Even then, San Diego is only decent. Las Vegas is half the traffic jam, half the housing prices, but with double/triple the entertainment (also, NV has no income tax). Why people are hyping about SoCal is beyond me.

Please elaborate......are you referring to places that are not clubs/bars? IE. family place, hangout places with buddies?

When people talk about SoCal, it's about the beaches, clubs and women. Clubs and women, no need to leave Las Vegas. Beaches, like it's cool and all, but it stinks like a mf'er. Going to the bathroom in any beach smells like hell.

Mr. President! Hi, never knew you posted at RGM during Executive Time.

You rail on illegals, the homeless, and 5-of-10 broads, you hate taxes, and you're angry at the lack of quality million dollar homes.

Probably would have been better for him to not say anything, than to disrespect a franchise the way he did for no reason at all. Yeah we’ve had a bad run the last few years, but it’s not as if someone asked him about playing in Orlando and he gave his opinion. It was completely unsolicited. Kind of weird.

Also, LA blows. Been once. Not impressed in the slightest. A bunch of smog, smells horrible, and no joke, a few homeless people on every corner. Some lady took her pants off in front of my wife and I and starting peeing IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD while we were there. Never again. Place is a dump.

Honestly even if he didn't say those things I wouldn't want him on the Magic. I'm just not a big fan of chuker, little defense type players.

Vegas is one of the entertainment capitals of the world, San Diego is a a glorified military base on a beach. Yes, Vegas is reliant on the strip - most places don't have entertainment comparable to what you can find on the strip including SD.

The only thing that SD has relative to Vegas is good weather/beach. SD is my favorite city in California, but it's pretty snoozy.

Depending on your life style, Vegas is a better bang for your buck - SD is only better for raising a family from what I gather.

So long as he is playing PF and only getting 5-6 boards a game, he will be talked about poorly in that aspect of his game anywhere he calls home. I see him as a Ryan Anderson clone right now. Nothing bad about being called that; but not exactly a primary piece in a AD trade either.

Worst part of LA for me is the traffic. I had to do a ton of work out there a ways back for 3 weeks all over LA. It was a nightmare driving those roads. Sure, it is dirty, but so are many big cities I have visited. Miami is a massive city with horrid traffic, but way cleaner and nicer.

I live in Orlando now with low taxes, year round good weather and can go to the beach east or west coast within an hours drive. Plus, with all the lakes, can take the boat out at any time. Plus, the congestion is minimal compared to west coast as houses have more property with their spacing.

My unashamedly petty rant: Kyle Kuzma is damn fugly. His smile is wack and he has the face of a an unwell 10 year old. If he was of avg height he'd be lucky to snag 5's instead of the 8's and 9's he's pulling in now.

As for living in la vs other places, you've got to look at it from an NBA player's perspective. These guys love a things like: good places to eat, good weather, good clubs/entertainment, other famous people to chill with, good pussywillow. LA has all of that in droves. They don't give an f about the homeless since they won't be in those areas.
